getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

This brief but detailed survey of résumé-writing techniques provides dozens of examples of successful executive résumés. Author Steven Provenzano provides concrete, practical advice for assembling a résumé for both personal review and electronic scanning. His ideas are simple and easy to implement, and are presented in plain, direct language. Interestingly, some of these concepts, especially about the length and layout of a résumé, go against the conventional wisdom of résumé writing and so are especially valuable. getAbstract recommends this solid primer on résumé preparation, which is also a useful reference for experienced job hunters who may find ideas and inspiration from other people's résumés. Executive job seekers from the mid-level manager on up should find this book useful in their quest for a better use of their talents and time.
